attraction is when your relationship feels like a nightmare and also you're terrified of actually being in a relationship right? right guys? haha that's what it is to be attracted to women right?? guys???

Humans are so interesting

it's redraw

Also, it is ignoring his own behavior toward Steph during War Games. Not once do he blames her. He just wants to save her and avenge her after bringing her to Leslie. He was taking all the responsibilities for anything going south. He was ready to die with Black Mask BEFORE STEPH WAS DECLARED DEAD for what happened to Steph.

In the end, y'all are repeating what Leslie keep saying in War Games: that everything is Bruce's fault and he is to blame for everything bad. Leslie, who killed Steph to teach Bruce a lesson, which was retconned later to "simply" kidnapping an unconscious minor and moving her to another continent, away from her friends and family to who she said the girl was dead, supposedly to protect Steph from being a vigilante, by trapping Steph in a situation she has no control over. Like, Leslie is in the wrong guys, how can you not see that as Steph fans? Why do Bruce trying to stop Steph from being a vigilante by being mean is the worst thing ever, but Leslie trying to do the same thing by kidnapping the girl and taking her to Africa isn’t important?

Bruce did not kill Steph, he is not responsible for her death, and just like with Jason, saying so isn't saying she is at fault. There are actual murderers in the stories.

Yes, he did care for her, yes, he wanted her safe, and yes, that might even be the primary reason why he actually fired her. But you're neglecting

That he only hired her so he could lure Tim back to him

That he held her to much higher standards than his previous Robin's while also denying her important information, literally manufacturing reasons to fire her when the time came

That this isn't the first time Bruce used her desires to get something he wants (Gotham Knights, where he signs her on as his ally because he wants companionship, only to drop her as soon as Tim and Alfred are back)

That he refuses to genuinely acknowledge his mistakes, instead acting as if he did everything in his power to stop her inevitable death and she was too disobedient and full of anger to stop and listen to him, while refusing to admit that if he'd ever tried to give her a genuine chance instead of using her emotions and desires to his advantage, maybe she wouldn't have almost destroyed the city and gotten killed trying to fix it.

Don't kids say the wildest things?
